to start discussing any subject intelligently. Now, when we start to discuss anything, you

討論主題或開啟主題討論。要開始討論任何主題時，我們會先提供

want to give the listener a frame of reference. We want to give the listener an idea what

聽者一個參考框架，提供聽者對於我們要談論主題的一些概念。

we're talking about. So the expressions that I'm going to show you will do just that; they

因此我要提供大家可以達到這樣目的的詞彙用語

will provide a context to discuss whatever you are talking about. Okay? So let's look

這類詞彙用語可以用在針對任何要談論主題提供內容

at some of these common expressions.

好，那讓我們來看一下一些這類常用詞彙用語

Okay, so I've divided them into three. Okay? I've divided them into three areas because

我將這些詞彙分成三類。分成三類的原因在於

they are slightly different in terms of the way they're structured.

它們的結構有些許的不同

The first one is like this: "From a political point of view," okay? What I'm giving you

第一類好比說：「就政治觀點而言」。我提供的只是開頭句

here is just the introduction. Okay? After this comma, you need to say whatever your

你需要在句號後方加上你自己的意見

opinion is. But this is to give it a context and to tell your listener that you're going

這只是提供內容和告訴聽者你即將要談論的東西

to talk about the political side, the politics of it. Okay? "From a political point of view,"

是和政治面相關的。好，「就政治觀點而言」

-you might say : "I believe we need a drastic change in the government." Okay?

你可能後面會說，「我覺得政府內部需要大刀闊斧改革」

Or: "From an environmental perspective, I think", something. Okay? Now, you don't have

或者，「從環境角度而言，我覺得...」。可以了解嗎?

to use: "I believe", "I think", "I feel", but you can. All right?

現在你可以不只使用「我相信...」、「我認為....」，還可以使用這樣的方式表達。

"From a social angle, the people need change."

「從社會角度而言，人們需要改變。」、

"From a psychological standpoint," okay? And then you say whatever you need to say.

「從心理學的觀點而言」，後面再加上要說的意見

"From a financial viewpoint," all right?

「從財務觀點來看」諸如此類，可以嗎?

So you see these expressions and words. Right? "Point of view", "perspective", "angle", "standpoint",

大家可以看到這類的用語和詞彙，「觀點」、「層面」、「角度」、「立場」

"viewpoint". I can assure you that if you start speaking using some of these expressions,

我保證當你開始使用這類用語開始進行談話時

your English will be much, much improved and you'll sound a lot more intellectual as well.

你的英文將會大幅改善提升，說話起來也會更像個知識分子

Okay? Also in your writing, also in academic writing. If you happen to be in university,

好，在學術寫作中同理。若你正在大學就讀

you definitely want to use some of these expressions in your writing. Okay?

一定會在寫作中使用到這些詞彙用語

Another technique you can use is this expression: "Technically speaking," all right? And then

另一個大家可以使用的是這個用語：「技術上來說」

you talk about the technology of it.

這表示你要談論有關技術方面的內容

Or: "Philosophically speaking," or: "Professionally speaking," okay? And again, you can take any

或是：「從哲學上來說」或「專業來說」，同樣可在後面加上任何主題

topic. All right? And express it in that way. When we say: "Technically speaking," or: "Philosophically

當我們說：「技術上來說」或「從哲學上來說」時

speaking," it means when we're speaking about the philosophy of it. Okay? Or when we're

表示我們要討論有關哲學方面的內容，或是當我們要

speaking about it from a professional point of view. Okay? Same idea, different ways of

從專業角度談論事情時使用。大家能理解嗎？

expressing it.

相同的概念，只是用不同的方式表達而已

Last one is without: "speaking", just saying this word. "Historically," or: "Spiritually,"

最後一類是不加上「...來說」，只說「歷史上」或「精神上」

or: "Educationally," or: "Academically," or: "Personally, I prefer to go to a relaxed movie."

或者：「教育上」或「學術上」，亦或是「個人而言，我比較喜歡去看場

Okay? Or "funny movie", "I prefer to go to a funny movie rather than a horror movie."

讓人放鬆的電影。」或者「笑片」「相較於恐怖片，我比較喜歡看

Okay? So, that's how you can use the word: "Personally," right? Or: "Personally speaking," right?

笑片。」大家可以這樣使用這個詞彙：「個人而言」或「就個人來說」

So, these are three different ways in which you can discuss anything intelligently or

以上是三種方式可幫助大家以有知識水準的方式談話，或是有助於

give your opinion on something by providing first a frame of reference for your listener.
